- 1God, in the gospel of His Son,
- Makes His eternal counsels known;
- Where love in all its glory shines,
- And truth is drawn in fairest lines.
- 2Here sinners, of an humble frame,
- May taste His grace, and learn His name;
- May read in characters of blood,
- The wisdom, pow'r and grace of God.
- 3The pris'ner here may break his chains,
- The weary rest from all his pains,
- The captive feel his bondage cease,
- The mourner find the way of peace.
- 4Oh, grant us grace, Almighty Lord,
- To read aright Thy holy word,
- Its truth with meekness to receive,
- And by its holy precepts live.
